Privacy Policy

EMCC is committed to protecting your personal data. Our Privacy Policy contains important information about what personal details we collect, what we do with that information, who we may share it with and why, and your choices and rights when it comes to the personal information you have given us.

WHAT IS CONSIDERED PERSONAL DATA?

Personal data is any information that can be used to find out your identity. This includes such information as your name, address or telephone number.

WHAT INFORMATION DO WE KEEP AND FOR WHAT PURPOSE?

FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS

EMCC is registered as a not for profit organisation in Belgium. According to Belgian law we are required to keep financial records showing any payments you make to us for seven years e.g. your membership (if direct with EMCC International), buying a book, booking a conference place, paying for accreditation application etc. This information is kept separate from your membership record. We will never use these details to contact you in regard to anything except your payments.

If you pay your membership direct to an EMCC country then you must contact that country regarding that financial transaction.

MEMBERSHIP

When you apply for membership with EMCC we require you to let us have your name, country, city, telephone number, and email address. We keep this information in order to maintain your membership. You can optionally also provide other details such as your full address, your website etc.

These details are only kept for the purposes of maintaining your membership. You are free to withdraw this information at any time online by making changes in your membership record and we will immediately remove it from our database. By doing so you will be cancelling your membership of EMCC.

FIND A MENTOR/COACH

If you are a member of EMCC you automatically have a ‘Find a Mentor/Coach’ profile on our website which is publically searchable. The profile is created using your membership data. You can add information to this profile including a CV, areas of expertise (your profile will automatically be set to ‘general’), the languages you speak, which countries you work in, links to your website etc.

You can remove your publically listed profile from our website at any time by amending the Find a Mentor/Coach part of your membership record. Changes in this area do not affect your membership record.

ACCREDITATION

When you make an enquiry about accreditation we make a log of the nature of your enquiry, your contact details, our response, and if you proceed to the application stage. We use this information to:

  • Contact you to support you in your application queries and application process
  • Anonymously to gather statistics about the types of accreditation enquiries we are receiving
  • Anonymously to improve the support we give to accreditation enquiries.

You can view your record at any time and also request for us to remove this data. Once you are accredited we keep your contact data and contact history so that we can:

  • Report on our accreditations as part of our self-regulatory status
  • Remind and assist you at the time of renewal or in the case of an upgrade request
  • Continuously improve our accreditation processes and assessor training
  • Publish your accreditation award on our website for public access. You can request to not have your award data published.

EVENTS

When you buy a ticket for one of our conferences, webinars, or any other type of event we keep a record of your personal data before, during, and after your purchase.

Before and during the conference the data is used to ensure that you get the most out of your event.
After the event we keep your data so that we can let you know of other events that you might be interested in.
For conferences specifically:

  • If you want to use the information on our conference app after the conference we need to keep your name and email address and which conference you attended to enable you to have access.
  • We share your name, country, organisation, and email address for networking purposed with other delegates via the conference app. You can request to have your email hidden from this data. Or you can have your details completely removed from the conference app (but then you will not be able to use the app).

PROTECTED SERVERS

We save the information you provide on specially protected servers. These servers can be accessed only by a limited number of carefully selected persons who are subject to strict confidentiality requirements and legally binding confidentiality agreements.

FORWARDING OF DATA TO THIRD PARTIES

Third parties who receive data as data processing contractors are also subject to data protection regulations and contractual confidentiality obligations. We may be obliged to provide data to courts, public authorities, or other state bodies. You data will otherwise not be made available to third parties. We never sell your data to third parties.

LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES

Our website contains links to other websites e.g. our accredited training providers websites or individual coach/mentors listed in our ‘Find a Mentor/Coach’ database. We have no influence on compliance with data protection laws by the operators of these sites.

WITHDRAWING CONSENT FOR THE STORAGE OF YOUR DATA

You can withdraw your consent for the storage of your personal data at any time. The data will then be deleted immediately provided that it is not prescribed by law or needed for billing or accounting purposes or as soon as these purposes are fulfilled.

If you have further questions on this privacy policy, data protection, would like to see what data we hold on you, or wish to have your data removed please contact:

MAKING A COMPLAINT

We hope that you will never have a reason to complain about the EMCC and data we store about you. If you do have concerns please contact EMCC International General Secretary [email protected] so that we can work with you to put things right.
